"Ready to go, everyone?" Amelia sang out, twirling around the room as she gathered her things. Her laughter bubbled like champagne, light and effervescent. She could barely stand still, her whole being electrified by the anticipation of the surprise.

A friend's voice on the phone pierced her bubble. A single sentence confirmed her worst fears. The carefully planned event, the source of her joyful anticipation, was now undone.

The music faded away in her mind. Her shoulders slumped. The air around her suddenly felt heavy, suffocating. The joy, the light, were gone.
